Web design in Reading, fixed price
Noctal Studio designs and builds websites for small businesses in Reading and across Berkshire. Three fixed-price packages, each with a clear scope and a clear delivery time, built by a senior frontend engineer who lives in Reading and works with you by video call and email. No hourly fog and no surprise invoices.
What a Reading business gets
Every package ships a fast, mobile-first site that passes WCAG 2.2 AA, with the SEO basics done properly: titles and descriptions written for the searches Reading customers actually make, an Open Graph image for sharing, a sitemap, and LocalBusiness structured data so Google can show your opening hours and phone number.
Hosting, SSL and the domain are included for the first year, so there is one invoice and one person to call.
Which package fits
Lite suits a sole trader or a mobile service that needs one strong page: what you do, where you do it, and how to get in touch. Local suits a cafe, salon or trade with several services, opening hours and a menu or price list you want to edit yourself. Studio adds custom design, an accessibility audit and six months of content edits for an established business that wants the polished version.
Say a Reading cafe wants a menu customers can read on their phone and opening hours that are always up to date. That is a Local build: menu pages in a CMS the owner edits and a Google-ready listing of hours and location. The Cornerstone Cafe demo at cafe.hiten.dev shows a Local build for a food business.
How it works
A free 30-minute video call to understand the business. A short written proposal with the package, the price and the delivery date. Content gathered by email, a build you can watch progress on a preview link, the revision rounds your package includes, then launch. Afterwards, an optional monthly care plan keeps the site patched, backed up and edited.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in Reading?
With Noctal Studio, a one-page site is £900 (Lite), a multi-page site with a CMS is £2,500 (Local) and a custom-designed site with an accessibility audit is £4,500 (Studio). Prices include VAT and are fixed once the scope is agreed.
How long does a website take?
Lite takes 7 working days, Local 2 weeks and Studio 3 to 4 weeks, counted from the day the content is in.
Do I need to meet you in Reading?
No. Noctal Studio is based in Reading but works remotely: a video call to start, then email and a preview link while the site is built. That keeps the price down and the timeline short.
Can I edit the site myself afterwards?
Local and Studio include a CMS, so you can change menus, prices, opening hours and posts without a developer. Lite is a single page; small text changes are covered by the monthly care plan.
Is hosting included?
Yes. Every package includes the domain, SSL and hosting for the first year.
